In the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama became the first African-American president of the United States. This was one of the most memorable moments for African Americans because they thought this day would never happen. This day was also important to the civil rights leaders who march with martin Luther king and thought that would also never see this day. I was very enthusiastic when Obama became president, I didn’t think I would see something like this in my life time. It was a moment in history that will never be forgotten. They were a lot of mixed emotions about Obama especially in the press. The media most expressed positive hopes and expectations for the president-elect, but some tried to prepare their readers for disappointment. Editorials varied from delight to cautious hopefulness, and a few were absolutely skeptical. Many celebrated Barack Obama's win as historic and a sign of changing race-relations in the United States. Many commentators said the election results surprised them because there was an international view that America was too racist to elect a black president, which I think we all thought. Many also said people in their country were blinded by obsession with Obama and encouraged them to see him as a normal human being capable of error. Within a week, the excitement and joy diminished somewhat and many newspaper editorials began to caution that Obama had huge obstacles ahead. Obama did have a lot of obstacles ahead because he was black, he was the first black president to a racist America and they was not going to take him seriously because he was black and the United States would have a very difficult time accepting and viewing him as a normal person instead of looking at his skin color. When Obama became president it gave us a glimmer of hope that maybe this country did change and black people can achieved their hope and dreams and their future goals.it made them realize that they can dream big and don’t have to worry about being held back anymore because of their skin color.
